In cases where a foreign national departs from the Republic of South Africa without a valid Visa or with a Visa that has expired the Immigration officials at the port of entry are, irregardless of the reasons thereof, required by law to put the foreign national concerned on the V-List, the V- List (is an overstay ban) and it means that the foreigner concerned has now been declared an undesirable person to enter into the Republic of South Africa. Overstays of less than 30 days attract a ban of up to 1 year and those of over 30 days attracts a ban of up to 5 years.
A foreigner who has been declared undesirable persons (V Listed) must submit an Application to the Director-General of the Department of Home Affairs within 10 days of receiving the of the Form 19 ban or to the Minister at any stage after 10 days’ period.
It often happens that (especially in cases where professional assistance was not sort for when preparing the application) the Department of Home Affairs,based on their interpretation and adjudication process of the Visa/Permit applicationcan reject a Visa or Permit application and issue a rejection letter. In instances whereby the rejections are rather unwarranted and can be contested at law, an appeal can then be lodged.

Upon requesting authorisation as contemplated in section 32(1) of the Act, an illegal foreigner who has neither been arrested for the purpose of deportation nor been ordered to depart and who wishes to apply for status after the date of expiry of his or her visa is required to demonstrate, in writing, to the satisfaction of the Director- General that he or she was unable to apply for such status for reasons beyond his or her control; and must submit proof to the Director-General that he or she is in a position to immediately submit his or her application for status.
The granting of the Letter of Good standing is the sole unfettered discretion of the Director General of Home Affairs therefore it is important for one to seek professional assistance in drafting the request for the letter to make sure that compelling averments are put in the motivation for the request.
Upon approval one is then allowed to continue sojourning in the Republic and apply for the appropriate visa and if the outcome is not favourable one will be required to exit the country.
